I'm not an expert though. Maybe 'gamey' has something to do with how they let the meat 'cure' by hanging it for several days? I've never found any of it to taste bad, or like it's going bad....so my best description is 'it has a wild taste'.

the fuck at everybody eating alligators like it's normal, does it come with the scaly skin?

i think my faith restricts me from eating any carnivore, not a hundred percent but i think that's the ruling.

ha, how'd twamp taste?

oh, hai twamp.

The gator was made into a jerky, and i also had it breaded and deep fried like chicken nuggets in the everglades. it tasted like chicken(cliche yea)and fish both times. there are places in florida where you can get the ribs bbq'ed too. i need to try that.

like venison. a lot of people say it's too gamey, but unless it was killed traumatically it's not gamey. rabbit, if killed properly tastes good too. if an animal is stressed when it dies, it releases some chemical that completely distorts the taste. also, if an animal is mostly muscle, it'll have that bitter flavor to it.

idk, i'd say gamey taste is kinda like when beef is about 1-2 days from turning bad and you smell it and go "shit i better cook this now!" that smell is what gamey tastes like.

all my friends that are hunters say it's true. they've hit deer with their trucks (not on purpose - i think) and have shot deer, and they say the taste is so different because the animal is stressed when they hit it. that's why hunters wait until the animal is unaware and calm, because when it's startled it gets adrenaline and whatever chemical (maybe it's adrenaline) fucks the taste.
